The video tutorial explains the concepts of constant velocity and acceleration, demonstrating how to plot velocity against time. It covers calculating displacement using velocity and time, and introduces the idea of the area under the velocity-time curve representing distance traveled. The tutorial further explores constant acceleration, its impact on velocity, and how to calculate distance using the area under the curve.
