How could two observers measure a different speed for the same moving objects?

They would have to have different base velocities. One on the ground, the other in a moving vehicle.

How can two different observers measure a different speed for the same object?
It depends on the observer's frame of reference. If both are stationary then an object's speed will be measured to be the same. If one or both are moving at unequal velocities, then the same object will appear to move at a different speed for each observer.
What are Four different collision scenarios of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision: objects bound against each other after the collision. - One is moving and the other is at rest. - Both objects are moving. Inelastic collision: objects stick together after the collision. - One is moving and the other is at rest. - Both objects are moving.
Does the law of inertia apply to moving or non moving objects?
It applies to both moving and non-moving objects.
Why must motion be with respect to the oberver?
That simply means that there is NO WAY to define or measure an "absolute motion".Any experiment you do will be the SAME for different observers - in the sense that it is unaffected by relative velocities.
What is the word that causes all objects to fall at different speeds?
In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. That means that at the same time after the drop, all objects are moving at the same speed.
What would two observers one stationary and one moving each measure for the speed of light?
The two observers would each measure light to be the same. The speed of light is the same for all observers, regardless of their frames of reference.
What is the measure of an objects ability to remain at rest or keep moving?
inertia

What is the product of a moving objects mass times its weight?
The product does not make any sensible measure.
What is a inertia?
There is no "A inertia." Its just inertia and inertia is the measure of an objects to stay at rest or to keep moving.

Does moving objects have impulse?
yes moving objects have impulse
How do you be safe with moving objects?
keep distance with moving objects.
All moving objects have?
All moving objects have Momentum.
What are differences in colors of moving objects in space that are approaching and moving objects that are moving away?
Objects moving toward you will have a blue shift in their spectrum and objects moving away from you will have a red shift in their spectrum. This is known as a doppler shift.
Does the law of inertia apply to moving or non moving objects?
It applies to both moving and non-moving objects.
Can time move backwards?
In a short answer, no. There are no known examples of time moving backwards, and no scientific theories supporting the organized reversal of time. Einstein's theory of relativity predicts time can progress at different rates for different observers, depending upon the differential relativistic speed of the observers, and this difference in the progression time has been confirmed experimentally. But even in those confirmed cases, time always moves forwards for all observers, it just moves forwards faster for some observers than for others.
