The video tutorial explains the difference between scalar and vector quantities, highlighting that scalars have only magnitude while vectors have both magnitude and direction. It provides examples of each, such as speed and velocity, and discusses how vector quantities can be combined, using forces as an example. The tutorial also covers the use of Pythagoras' theorem to calculate resultant forces when vectors act at right angles.
