Yes, of some; the square root of any perfect square is rational - for example, the square root of 4, of 9, of 16, etc.On the other hand, if your "composite number" is not a perfect square, then its square root is irrational.

Yes. Any perfect square which is greater than 1 is a composite number and its square root, by definition, is an integer and therefore rational.
