Why is it feminine?

Física is feminine because it derives from the Latin "physica," which was the feminine form of the adjective "physicus" (relating to nature), ultimately from Greek "physike (techne)" meaning "natural science"—the feminine gender was preserved through Romance language evolution. The noun retained the gender of its Latin source, where scientific and abstract disciplines often took feminine grammatical gender.
