The video tutorial covers a problem involving Newton's laws, specifically focusing on a train's deceleration due to braking. The instructor sets up the problem, calculates the train's acceleration using force and mass, and determines the change in velocity. The tutorial also includes unit conversion from meters per second to kilometers per hour and calculates the distance traveled during braking.
