Answer

$3.0 min$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\Delta t_1=\frac{\Delta t_{\circ}}{\sqrt{1-v_1^2/c^2}}$ $\implies \Delta t_{\circ}=\Delta t_1\sqrt{1-v_1^2/c^2}$ Now we can find $\Delta t_2 $ as $\Delta t_2=\frac{\Delta t_{\circ}}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}=\frac{ \Delta t_1\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}{\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta t_2=(5.0min)\sqrt{\frac{1-(0.95)^2}{1-(0.80)^2}}=3.0 min$
