Understanding the Situation

* Empty space: This means there's no air resistance to slow the ball down.

* Constant Velocity: In the absence of forces, an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity (both speed and direction).

The Answer

The ball will still be traveling at a velocity of 14 m/s after it has traveled 2 meters.

Why?

Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force. Since there's no force acting on the ball in empty space, it maintains its initial velocity.
