I am studying physics off of Khan Academy by myself and I find they are a bit light on the exercises I'd love some physics workbooks that cover up to high school graduate difficulty. That you very much. Online resources etc appreciated too, just problems thank you.

Workbooks in the Schaum’s Outline series have both summaries and lots of problems with answers.
 
Not a workbook, but you can have a look at the "F=ma" contest's questions (solutions included).
