The video tutorial explains the equation v^2 - u^2 = 2as, which links initial and final velocity with acceleration and distance. It introduces the equation's components and demonstrates a three-step process to solve it: substitution, simplification, and rearrangement. Three examples are provided: calculating final velocity of a car, initial velocity of a decelerating train, and acceleration of a tanker. The tutorial emphasizes understanding symbols, accurate substitution, and mathematical rearrangement.
