The video tutorial explains Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It uses various activities to demonstrate this law, including a balloon rocket, a PVC pipe and brush, a straw spinner, and a water displacement experiment. The video also highlights real-life applications of the law, such as diving boards, punching bags, and swimming. The tutorial concludes with a disclaimer about the educational nature of the content.
