The video tutorial explains potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position. It covers two types: gravitational potential energy, dependent on an object's height and mass, and elastic potential energy, stored in materials that can stretch or compress. Examples include a wrecking ball for gravitational energy and a drawn bow for elastic energy. The video also compares these types using real-world examples like roller coasters and bows.
