Answer 1

As the car travels around the roundabout at a constant speed of 10 meters per second, the characteristic that is constant is:

speed

While the direction of the car is continuously changing as it moves around the roundabout, the speed remains constant. The velocity, which includes both speed and direction, is not constant due to the changing direction. Position is also not constant, as the car is moving along the roundabout.
