The video tutorial introduces the concept of work in physics, explaining it as the measure of energy transfer to an object when moved by force. The work formula is presented as work equals force times displacement. A practical example is provided where a person pulls a car five meters with a force of 100 newtons, resulting in 500 joules of work done. The tutorial concludes with a brief summary, emphasizing the ease of learning with Earthspan.
