The video tutorial explains the concepts of angular and linear velocity using two discs, red and blue, with different velocities. It visualizes the problem and explores the relationship between the radius and velocity of the discs. The conclusion is that both discs have the same radius, as derived from the relationship between their angular and linear velocities.
