The video tutorial explains the journey of a sheep in search of grass, covering concepts of distance traveled and displacement. The sheep moves 10 km east, 5 km south, and 10 km west, totaling 25 km in distance. However, its displacement is only 5 km south. The video distinguishes between total distance traveled and displacement, emphasizing that distance is the total path length, while displacement is the net change in position.
