How to find the total distance traveled of a particle

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the total distance traveled by a particle by analyzing its velocity function. It covers the concepts of direction change, turning points, and the use of the position function to determine the particle's position at specific times. The tutorial also demonstrates how to calculate the total distance traveled by considering the absolute values of displacements between different time intervals.
