A lorry is travelling around a roundabout at constant speed. Why is its velocity changing?

Because velocity is a vector and therefore has both magnitude and direction. Thus as the lorry is changing direction whilst travelling around the roundabout its velocity is also changing (velocity = displacement / time).
