║⊕ANSWER⊕║
- A glass pane of a window gets shattered when a flying pebble hits it, because the flying pebble is moving with some velocity while the glass pane is at the rest.
- When it hits the glass pane , it imparts momentum to the pane.
- Glass is amorphous solid and hence doesn't have cleavage property

Answer:
The flying pebble has a high velocity. When it strikes the glass pane, the velocity becomes zero in a very short interval of time i.e., the rate of change of momentum is large. Therefore, the force applied on the glass pane is large and so, the glass pane shatters.
