How do I make it so an instrument only plays the 2nd time in a repeat?

It is currently not possible within MuseScore to only play something on a given repeat.
You can use the "unroll repeats" tool to create a linear score in which you can then silence/remove whatever you want to get the desired playback effect.

I can: #309768: Request: start playing in the second or third round of a repeat ;-)
Edit, hmm, not quite...
Edit 2, maybe #268146: Add a way to specify "last time only" for repeats (skip first voltas)? Seems that is it, doesn't it?

Those are both about selecting the n-th time playback for playback of the entire score.
I went way back and dug up #72791: Add a "second time only" option (For repeats, not Volta) which seems more fitting for this request.

that #268146: Add a way to specify "last time only" for repeats (skip first voltas) looks like a duplicate then?

This isn't possible.
