The video tutorial explains Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This concept is demonstrated through a balloon experiment, where the air rushing out of the balloon represents the action, and the movement of the balloon in the opposite direction is the reaction. The tutorial further analyzes how the air escaping the balloon pushes out in every direction, causing the balloon to move forward.
