The video tutorial explains an experiment involving four train conductors measuring the distance covered over different time intervals. The goal is to determine if all trains moved at the same speed. The tutorial covers the formula for speed calculation, which is distance divided by time, and demonstrates how to calculate the speed for each train. The results show that all trains traveled at the same speed of 55 miles per hour.
