The video tutorial explains the concept of free fall, where a body falls towards the Earth under the influence of gravity. It clarifies that during free fall, the acceleration of an object is independent of its mass. The tutorial addresses common questions about whether heavier objects accelerate more than lighter ones during free fall, emphasizing that acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects regardless of their mass.
