The video tutorial explains the concept of relative velocity, which is the velocity of one body with respect to another. It covers how to calculate relative velocity when two bodies move in the same or opposite directions. The tutorial also discusses specific cases of relative motion, including parallel, antiparallel, and right-angle motion, providing formulas for each scenario.
