Answer 1

As the car moves in a roundabout at a steady speed of 10 meters per second, the characteristic that remains constant is its speed.

While the car's velocity (which includes both speed and direction) is constantly changing due to the change in direction, the speed itself remains constant at 10 meters per second. Therefore, the correct answer is:

speed.
