Probably. Although the two used were the only ones immediately available, over the next year about a dozen (If I recall) would have been manufactured. Doubtless Truman would have used them all up. Assuming even that didn't bring the Japanese to surrender, conventional invasion would have ensued, probably before the end of 1945. Compared to the two atomic bombs, the devastation from a wholesale conventional invasion would have been much worse.

If you mean the one that was dropped on Japan, Yes. Japan surrendered an hour before it was dropped but the message arrived too late. Would you care to cite a source or provide any documentation to support your statement that Japan had surrendered before the second atomic strike?
President Truman reason for dropping the atomic bomb in Japan?
The US and Japan were at war, and Japan had refused to surrender.

What is the Nakasaki bombing?
The atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Japan by the United States took place on August 8, 1945. The US believed that the dropping of atomic weaponry on two cities would shock the Japanese into surrendering (it did). The logic was "We'll take a few hundred thousand lives to save millions more". Japan surrendered a little over a month later, on September 15, 1945.
Why the US use an atomic bomb to end the war in the pacific?
Japan refused to surrender. Japan did not believe in surrender, and hated people who did surrender instead of dying to the last person. Pres. Truman dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and Japan surrendered. It was either two atomic bombs or invasion of Japan. Invasion of Japan would mean that the war would last another year and kill a lot more people than the atomic bombs did. Japan surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed, not after Hiroshima. It was either the atomic bombs or invasion. Atomic bombs were the lesser of two evils.
