If you are "head and shoulders above" the crowd, then you are taller than everyone else. In idiomatic usage, this means that you really stand out, you are better than the rest, you are noticeable in a good way.

What does the idiom head and shoulders above the rest mean?

If someone is literally head and shoulders taller than another person in height, it would be obvious. There would be no dispute as to who is taller. Taken figuratively, it would mean that another person or thing is indisputably much better than the rest.I believe that the phrase refers back to a description of Saul who was described in 1 Samuel 9:1-2 as "a handsome young man. There was not a man among the people of Israel more handsome than he; from his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people."

According to newton's law how does a car headrest help to guard against whiplash in a rearend collision?

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When something hits you from behind that is travelling even slightly faster then you, the energy comming from all of the 4000lbs in motion that hit you is transfered into your car. Your car lurches forward transfering some of that energy into your body. A body at rest stays at rest. Your head was stationary until your body lurched forward with the rest of your car. Your head has to catch up to the rest of your body and you end up damaging the soft tissue in and around your head neck and shoulders. Get hit hard enough and you can break your neck. If your head is against the head rest, the head rest will move your head forward at the same time as the rest of your body is moved forward by the seat. This will keep your head from snapping backwards.
