The video tutorial explains how to find a unit vector from a given vector by dividing it by its magnitude. It demonstrates the process using a vector with a magnitude of 72, simplifying it to a unit vector with a magnitude of 1. The tutorial also connects the concept to the unit circle, showing that the resulting unit vector lies on the circle at a 45-degree angle. Finally, it verifies the magnitude of the unit vector to ensure accuracy.
