Correctly, physical digestion begins in the mouth, when foodstuffs are pulverised and mashed up into small pieces, and coated with saliva, to make swallowing easier and to increase it's surface area. This process is completed in the stomach, where food is liquified by strong hydrochloric acid secreted by the gastric glands to make it easy to assimilate. All these processes are classed as physical digestion, but not actual ABSORPTION- this takes place in the small intestines. The only substance absorbed by the stomach is alcohol.
