When does Sound travels fastest through matter when it is warm cold or not moving?

It depends... It's well-known that sound travels faster through denser (cold air has higher density then warm) media. So if you have a situation when sound travels through either cold or warm air. The speed of the sound will higher in the cold air.
From other side if you have air which of course possesses certain temperature which is moving the sound speed will depend on both temperature and the vector of velocity (direction where it is blowing and and value how much it's blowing).

Is the mysterious dark matter the fastest-moving material in the universe?
no
Which state of matter has the fastest moving particles?
the sate of matter would be gases
What type of matter has the fastest molecules?
The type of matter that has the fastest molecules are gas. The reason for that it is because since gas particles are spread out the most, they have more room to float around. Which means that they have the fastest moving molecules.
How do the states of matter differ in terms of motions to their particles?
Gasses will have the fastest moving particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving particles.
How light and sound travel different States of matter?
Light can only travel through a transparent medium. Light travels fastest in a vacuum and gets slower the denser the material it is moving through. Sound gets faster the stifferthe material is but cannot move through a vacuum.The states of matter make little difference to light. Only the opacity and density have any effect.The states of matter do matter to sound. Air is less stiff than water, which is not as stiff as ice or steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 16 times faster than the speed of sound in air.

What is uniform velocity and uniform accelration?
If a car moving in a straight line travels equal distance in equal time no matter how small these distances may be, the car is said to be moving with a CONSTANT or Uniform Velocity.
What is the fastest thing?
