Answer 1

As the car travels around the roundabout, the characteristic that is constant is speed.

While the car's velocity (which includes both speed and direction) is constantly changing due to the change in direction as it moves around the roundabout, the magnitude of the speed itself can remain constant if the car maintains a consistent rate of travel.

So, the correct answer is: Speed.
