I'm thinking of teaching myself physics over the summer. I want to use the khan academy playlist but there are no physics problems on the site yet. Is there a set of worksheets somewhere else that I could use that fit well with the videos?

Welcome to physics Stack Exchange! I'm afraid this question may be off topic and is likely to be closed. Questions on P.SE generally should relate to conceptual problems. Please see the faq. That being said, you still may get an answer through the comments. – Manishearth♦ Apr 2 '12 at 3:33
You might want to try "what is the best mechanics problem to illustrate the concept of momentum..." etc. – Ron Maimon Apr 2 '12 at 3:35
@Ron Maimon. I'm not really looking for a specific topic. Just a set of worksheets like this: nisd.net/taft/classrooms/martin/Physics_Worksheets_index.htm, but I don't know how good that or any other set of worksheets is. – Ari A Apr 5 '12 at 3:55

That one is fine, but a little boring. You can make up your own problems without any issues, if you use a text, and not videos. I would recommend using Feynman or Landau/Lifschitz, both are good in different complementary ways, which reflect the strength of the American and Soviet styles. Landau has problems, with Feynman you make up your own (like close your eyes and repeat the derivation, modify the physics,etc). The question as you ask it is not appropriate for the site, as you are not asking for good problems, and it is impossible to answer this with physics expertise, rather than google. – Ron Maimon Apr 5 '12 at 5:53
