Answer 1

The characteristic that is constant for the car as it travels around the roundabout is the speed.

While the speed remains constant at 10 meters per second, the direction of the car is continuously changing as it moves in a circular path, so the velocity (which includes both speed and direction) is not constant. The position also changes as the car moves around the roundabout.
