No, a segment is not necessarily perpendicular. A segment is simply a straight line connecting two points. A perpendicular segment would be a segment that forms a right angle with another segment or line.
perpendicular bisector
I believe this is called the perpendicular bisector.
Sure. There's even a special name for that line. It's called the "perpendicular bisector" of the segment.
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.

perpendicular bisector
Yes. it is possible to bisect a segment with a perpendicular segment. Follow the link to learn how to do it: http://www.mathopenref.com/constbisectline.html
no
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant, or the same distance, from the endpoints of the segment.
a line or segment that is perpendicular to the given segment and divides it into two congruent segments
Biconditional Statement for: Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point is equidistant if and only if the point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment. Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment if and only if the point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment.
