The video tutorial explains Newton's First Law of Motion, emphasizing that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion continues in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by an external force. This law is also known as the law of inertia. The tutorial provides both a detailed and a simplified version of the law, highlighting the concept of velocity as a vector and the importance of understanding inertia in physics.
