The video tutorial explains the concept of acceleration, emphasizing that it occurs when there is a change in velocity, not just speed. It provides examples to illustrate situations where acceleration is present, such as changes in speed or direction. The tutorial clarifies that velocity is a vector quantity, combining speed and direction. It also covers how to calculate acceleration using the formula 'change in velocity over time' and explains the units of acceleration as meters per second squared. The video concludes by noting that acceleration is a vector quantity and hints at more concepts to be covered in future videos.
