The video tutorial explains how to create a vector V with a specific magnitude and direction. It begins by discussing the magnitude of vector V and the direction of angle U. The tutorial then checks if a given vector is a unit vector and calculates the unit vector of U. It further explains how to scale the unit vector to achieve a desired magnitude. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates using trigonometric functions, cosine and sine, with unit vectors to find the direction.
