I don't really get why the force shouldn't be in those directions and the reverse is not true either so I'm at a loss if you could explan this to me it would really help

Let a uniform magnetic field B define the +z-direction. A charged point particle enters the magnetic field with
velocity v = (Ux, Uy, U₂).
For different values of the velocity components Ux, Uy, and U₂, categorize the particle's motion as linear, circular, or helical.
Assume that all nonzero velocity components are greater than zero.
nce
linear
(0, 0, V₂)
(Ux, 0, 0)
(0, v₂, 0)
circular
(Vx, 0, Uz)
(0, Uy, Uz)
(Vx, Vy, 0)
Answer Bank
helical
(Ux, Uy, Uz)
