it is said that full frame aperture equivalent of 2.8 to aps-c is 4.2. does it mean that shutter speed of aps-c is one stop slower that full frame on the same aperture? given the same focal length equivalent e.g. aps-c 23mm and ff 35mm.

Assuming same field of view, in principle f/4.2 on FF and f/2.8 on APS-C will create create identical results: DOF, noise, diffraction blur all will be the same.
In practise there may be some differences:
For most shooters it’s quite irrelevant if one uses FF or APS-C - not that much difference usually.
Shutter speed can be what ever the user wants. If one let’s the camera to decide it instead, then an autoexposure program of the camera would likely use a different exposure time in each case, assuming the same ISO and light levels.
