Learn how to determine the magnitude and direction of a vector

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the magnitude and direction of a vector. It starts by demonstrating the calculation of vector magnitude using component form. Then, it moves on to finding the direction using the tangent of theta. The tutorial highlights a common mistake in angle calculation due to the restrictions of inverse tangent, explaining how to correct it by considering reference angles and adjusting for the correct quadrant.
