1. The figure represents the total acceleration $a$ of a particle moving clockwise in a circle of radius $2.50 \, \text{m}$ at a certain instant of time. For that instant, what is the speed $v$ of the particle?
(A) $5.70 \, \text{m/s}$ (B) $7.50 \, \text{m/s}$ (C) $6.90 \, \text{m/s}$ (D) $8.20 \, \text{m/s}$ (E) $9.30 \, \text{m/s}$
