The video tutorial explains projectile motion in the x direction, emphasizing that velocity remains constant due to the absence of gravity's influence. It details how to calculate initial velocity using the angle of projection and cosine function. The tutorial also covers position calculation by multiplying velocity and time, highlighting the linear relationship. Finally, it compares these equations to one-dimensional motion, noting the absence of acceleration in the x direction.
