Depends on the size of the wire in the extension cord. The 3 prong is just the hot, neutral, and ground.
I don't know about an extension cord, but they do sell plug adabters. You can pick them up at any hardware store or even Wal-Mart. They are ussaully grey or orange , and look like the plug end of the extension cord. One end will have the 2 prong, the other side will have the slots to plug in the three prong.
Materials would consist of extension cord cable, male and female cap ends. The tools would consist of a screwdriver that will fit the termination ends screw configuration and a pair of wire strippers or a knife to strip the extension cord wire.
An extension lead has a plug on one end and a few sockets on the other end. They are used to reach appliances that are far away from the main sockets. It is very safe to use an extension cord as long as you don't overload them.
For a 5500-watt generator, you should use an extension cord rated for at least 20 amps to safely handle the electrical load. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition and of the appropriate gauge to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.
In Canada this is quite acceptable. One extension cord can be plugged into another extension cord. What has to be kept in mind though, is the load amperage at the end of the cords. Additionally plugging one cord into another increases the wire's total resistance. This effects the over all voltage drop of the cord, by lowering the voltage at the load. If the cord's wire size is increase in each additional cord added to the length, this would be one way to combat against the voltage drop. An example, if the first cord has a #14 size conductor the next size cord to plug into it should be a #12. If additional length is needed then the next size cord to extend the length should be a #10.This type of cord use is used on construction sites all the time. Keep in mind that extension cords are only to be used as a temporary source of power in temporary locations and they not to be used as a permanent installation power source.

Grounding.
An extension cord holder is used to hold an extension cord. It wraps around the holder, for easy release and withdrawal.
With that size of load and a voltage of up to 300 or 600 volts, any extension cord can be used.
The maximum safe length for an outdoor extension cord used with power tools is typically 100 feet.
The extension cord will extend the power outlet from a wall socket. The voltage will be the same at the end of the cord as it is from the socket. Be aware that extension cord may have a limit, as to how much current it can provide. The cord should be thick enough to provide as much power as the outlet can. It will then be properly protected by the circuit's fuse or breaker. A thin cord may get hot if a large consumer is plugged in, unless the cord is protected by it's own fuse at the plug end.
For a refrigerator, it is recommended to use a 14-gauge extension cord to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Materials would consist of extension cord cable, male and female cap ends. The tools would consist of a screwdriver that will fit the termination ends screw configuration and a pair of wire strippers or a knife to strip the extension cord wire.
the answer choices are .. extension cord, power adapter, data cable, or telephone cord

When choosing a custom extension cord, consider factors such as the length needed, the type of outlets required, the power rating of your devices, the environment where it will be used, and the safety certifications of the cord.
