I assume you mean bisecting (1) top-to-bottom, (2) side-to-side, (3) top-left-to-bottom-right, and (4) top-right-to-bottom-left. Actually, any straight line through the center bisects the square into two congruent (!) pieces. So there are an infinite number of ways to cut a square into two equal pieces. A very similar answer would apply if you are trying to cut the square into four equal pieces.

Yes. A rhombus is a "squashed" square in that every side is equal in length but only opposite angles are equal. The square is a special case of a rhombus where not only are opposite angles equal, but all 4 angles are equal. All squares are rhombuses but not all rhombuses are squares.
"Trisecting" is cutting into three equal parts, not four. Trisecting is impossible. Cutting into four equal parts is possible though, and trivial once you know how to bisect an angle.
It is the square which has 4 equal sides and 4 equal interior angles
Then its area will only be a quater of once it was.
Cut the square along a straight line through the center. Then make another straight-line cut through the center perpendicular to the first. If you are actually trying to cut a square piece of paper into smaller squares, fold one pair of opposite edges together and crease resulting fold. Then do the same with the other pair of opposite edges. The two folds will be your guidelines for cutting. Note that there are other ways to cut the square into four equal pieces, such as cutting it into four rectangles each the full width of the square, but only one quarter as tall.
If there were 10 minutes in an hour, then you could only split an hour into 2 or 5 equal pieces without cutting up any minutes. With 60 minutes in an hour, you can split an hour into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30 equal pieces, without cutting up any minutes.
Cutting a diameter four time will get you eight pieces of pie, not seven. You cannot get 7 pieces by cutting diameters only; for that you need to cut radii.
It is not possible to cut a square with two straight lines and end up with five pieces. The square would have to be cut with two curved lines whose apices intersect with one another. Check the following link for an example: http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee410/thetatemdeluxe/5-cutsquare.jpg
Cutting paper into tiny pieces is a psychical change. This is because the chemical properties of paper are left unchanged and the paper is only reduced to a fraction of its original size, which only affects its physical properties.
Cutting a string into two pieces is a physical change because the chemical makeup of the string remains the same. The process of cutting only affects the physical state of the string by changing its shape and size.
Cutting wood into 10 pieces is a physical change because the wood's chemical composition remains the same. The change only affects the physical state of the wood by breaking it into smaller pieces.
Diagonally--they need to stay on the same colored square through the entire game. You can jump pieces, as well. Only one square at a time otherwise.
Square has all sides equal. Rectangle has only opposite sides equal. That's the only difference between them.
On a square, all four sides are equal in length. A rectangle only has two sets of equal sides.
