The video tutorial explores projectile motion by launching an object at an 80° angle with a velocity of 30 m/s. It breaks down the velocity into horizontal and vertical components, calculates the time of flight using the quadratic formula, and determines the horizontal displacement. Finally, it computes the total displacement and direction using the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric functions.
