The video tutorial demonstrates why water stays in a bucket revolving in a vertical circle. It begins with an experiment showing water staying in the bucket and explains why water flows out when the bucket is upside-down due to gravity. The concept of centripetal force is introduced, but the focus is on inertia, which keeps the water in motion. The tutorial further explores projectile motion and the speed required to keep water in the bucket. The video concludes with a summary and a note on the visual effects used.
