Because we bombed them with the atomic bomb twice.

It is important to note that Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941 and the Japanese did not surrender until August 15, 1945. In the intervening four years numerous battles and millions of people died. Pearl Harbor did not directly result in the Japanese surrender to the United States and actually only led to the US declaration of war and the transfer of a large portion of the US Atlantic fleet to the Pacific.

No. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a coordinated attack by Japan on the United States to effectively remove the US Pacific Fleet from viable operation. This would allow Japan to invade and overrun the Philippines. This tactic was indeed successful in the short term and the US was required to fight the War in the Pacific using its former Atlantic Fleet.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor forced the Japanese to surrender only in the sense that in caused the US to enter the war against Japan.
