Concept of 'work done' on a smooth slope (high school-level physics)

Say you have an object on a smooth friction-less slope, and a force 10N (acting parallel to the slope) is applied to it to move it at a distance 5m up the slope.

Work done by the force is: force*distance. In this case, 10*5 = 50 joules of energy

Does all that energy get transferred to gravitational potential energy?
