Yes they can.
If the player gets to second base on his hit, it is a double. If a player is on first base and goes to second base on a pitch during another player's at bat, it is called stealing second base. If a player is on first base and goes to second base on another players hit, walk, ground out, etc., it is called being advanced to second base.

If the first baseman tags first base, the runner originally on first is therefore not forced to second base and he is safe at first.
you usually get there on the second date, but u gota get to first base first.
The distance between first base and second base is 90 feet.
First base, in 1908.
That depends on whether a runner is forced to vacate a base when a ground ball is hit. If there is a runner on first base and a ground ball is hit, the runner is forced to run to second base because the batter is running to first base. If there is also a runner on second base, that runner is forced to run to third because the runner from first is running to second. If a runner is not forced to run, they do not have to. If there are runners on first base and third base and a ground ball is hit, the runner at first is forced to run to second because the batter is running to first. But the runner on third is not forced to run because no runner is running to third base from second base.
Let the second base be x: 0.5*(first base+x)*height = area x = (2*area/height) - first base
On a ground rule double, the batter is awarded second base and all runners advance two bases. The ball is dead.

If the runner remains standing on the bag when the 1st baseman touches the bag and the 1st baseman does not tag the runner prior to touching the bag, then the runner is safe and you have no double play. Answer To clarify, once the Batter becomes a batter-runner, the runner at first loses his right to occupy first base and is forced to advance. If he is tagged while standing on the base, he is out. If the first baseman then steps on first base the Batter-runner is also out -- Double Play. BUT, if the first baseman first steps on the base the batter-runner is out and the force is removed. If the runner standing on first base is now tagged he is safe.
