Which characteristic is a constant for the car as it travels around the roundabout?

Position.
Velocity.
Speed
Direction

1 answer

When a car travels around a roundabout, the characteristic that remains constant is speed.

While the car is moving in a circular path, its speed (the magnitude of its velocity) can remain the same even though its direction is constantly changing. Thus, the velocity (which includes both speed and direction) is not constant due to the change in direction. The position of the car also changes continuously as it moves around the roundabout. Therefore, the correct answer is speed.
