The video tutorial introduces simple harmonic motion using pendulum and spring examples. It explains how this motion is modeled using sine and cosine curves, with time on the x-axis and displacement on the y-axis. The tutorial covers deriving velocity and acceleration functions and analyzing motion through displacement-time graphs. It includes solving example problems and advanced problem-solving techniques, emphasizing the importance of understanding phase shifts, amplitude, and period in simple harmonic motion.
