The video tutorial explains the concept of unbalanced forces, which occur when one force is stronger than its opposing force, leading to motion. It contrasts balanced forces, where forces are equal and objects remain at rest, with unbalanced forces, which cause movement. Examples include a rocket's thrust overcoming gravity and a football player exerting more force than an opponent. The tutorial concludes with a thought exercise on how unbalanced forces affect a seesaw.
