Step-by-step explanation:

The forces acting on the sled are the following:

Fg = force of gravity acting downward

Fn = normal force acting upward

Fa = the force applied by you

Ff = force of friction slowing the sled down.

All these forces are shown in the sketch below.

For a person hanging from a bungee cord, only two forces are present:

FT = force applied by the cord on the person.

Fg = force of gravity acting downward.

These two forces acting on the person are shown in the sketch below.
