If an object is entering a black hole, it would be accelerating at a constant rate. If that object's matter was accelerating at the same rate then why do people theorize that the object would have a "speghetti" effect?

The "spaghetti" effect refers to the stretching and elongation of objects as they approach and enter a black hole. This is caused by the intense gravitational pull on different parts of the object, with the part closest to the black hole experiencing a much stronger pull than the part further away.
No, the immense gravitational forces of a black hole are strong enough to tear apart any object, including stars and planets, as they approach and enter the event horizon. This is due to the extreme curvature of spacetime near a black hole.
The "spaghetti" effect also causes time dilation, where time passes at a different rate for an observer outside the black hole compared to someone falling into it. As the falling observer experiences stronger and stronger gravitational forces, time appears to slow down for them, eventually appearing to stop completely at the event horizon.
In theory, small particles such as photons may be able to enter a black hole without experiencing the "spaghetti" effect. This is because they have no mass and therefore do not experience the same gravitational pull. However, once they cross the event horizon, they cannot escape and will be pulled into the singularity at the center of the black hole.
The "spaghetti" effect is one of the key concepts in understanding the behavior and properties of black holes. It helps explain phenomena such as time dilation and the distortion of light near a black hole. Studying the "spaghetti" effect can also provide insights into the nature of gravity and the structure of spacetime near these extreme objects.
