The video tutorial covers the basics of velocity-time (vt), displacement-time (dt), and acceleration-time (at) graphs. It explains how to interpret these graphs, particularly focusing on constant acceleration and the implications of curved lines. A practical scenario involving a truck and a cop is used to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial concludes with graphing practice exercises to reinforce understanding.
